Exactly this. Cops β€” government-funded and self-appointed β€” have been killing people and lying about it all along. People in their homes, in their cars, children in parks and churches β€” all poor, mostly black and brown people. This is very American.

As Nikita Gill reminds us, this - what we have been living and what is killing our neighbors- is very much America.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country β€” every single one of them.

OF THE EMPIRE

We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Slavery is White History. We white people need to take responsibility for it and the unending aftermath for Black people. We need to create and commit to solutions, including a meaningful truth and reconciliation process and Reparations.
